The “Game of Thrones Live Concert Experience” was announced
with a marching band parading down Sunset Boulevard in Los
Angeles on Monday. Ramin Djawadi, the “Game of Thrones” show
composer, plans to bring the fictional land of Westeros to life
in the concert with extravagant scenery and a musical tour of
the different realms.
"It will be an immersive experience," Djawadi said. "We're going
to be building our own stage and it's going to be 360 degrees so
you can see from anywhere in the arena and it should be really
great visually. The sets we've designed are going to be
reminiscent of some of the special moments in the show so it
should be a great musical experience but also a great visual
experience."
Djawadi wrote the show’s memorable title track and penned themes
for all the main houses and characters such as Arya Stark, Jon
Snow and Daenarys Targaryen. The "Game of Thrones" title
sequence features mechanical animations which provide the
geographical setting of each realm. In a video shown to
journalists, the concert's imagery appears to maintain the style
of the introduction. “Game of Thrones,” nominated for a leading
23 Emmy awards this year, will conclude in two years’ time with
its eighth season, which alarmed actor Isaac Hempstead-Wright,
who plays Bran in the series and joined Djawadi for a Q&A at
Monday’s event.
The actor said he was "terrified. I've been doing this for sort
of 7 years of my life so think the whole thing is going to end
one day, it's like leaving school or something." The tour will
begin in Kansas City, Missouri on February 15, 2017 and will
tour around the US and Canada, concluding in Portland, Oregon on
April 2.
